Amir Salehi is our newest Rotarian

Our newest Rotarian is Amir Salehi who was inducted by Club President Rob Simpson into the vocational classification of Financial Planning Adviser. Amir was warmly welcomed together with his wife, Narges Sabok-Routh. Amir has embraced the idea of joining the extremely active Community Services Committee and will be helping on several Club projects.

Sarah Prossor is our youngest Rotarian

Recently Sarah joined our Club and was inducted by our Club President Rob Simpson into the vocational classification of Scientist. At 23, Sarah is one of the youngest Rotarians in District 9800. Sarah is an Honours Graduate specialising in Stem Cell Research, and a leader in the John Gardiner Rovers, the senior most section of the Scouting Association in Glen Iris.

Our Club has been fortunate to develop a close relationship with the scouting movement. Sarah and the other Rovers have been huge supporters of the Club’s activities, including the Twilight Cinema for Interchange Inner East, the Maling Road Scavenger Hunt, the Family Day Miniature Railway Picnic and the recent Emergency Food Packaging Night for the Philippines.

Ubuntu: One Woman's Motorcycle Odyssey Across Africa

Heather Ellis will talk about her epic journey over 15 months and 19 countries riding 42,000 kilometres from south to north Africa during 1993 to 1994. It is about a life-changing adventure into the soul of Africa where she finds 'ubuntu' — a traditional Bantu word from South Africa meaning 'I am because we are', the universal bond that connects all of humanity as one.
